Another attempt at getting Squid-2.5.STABLE4 out of the door. Have been waiting a little to see if anything comes up in the NTLM field but this has to wait for STABLE5 or 3.0 it seems. It seems there is NTLM related bugs both in Squid and the helpers, but I have no possibility to look into more details on this issue at this time.
There has been a few minor fixes in Squid-2.5 in the last weeks additionally holding off the release, but the sum of fixed bugs is now way over the threshold to motivate a new STABLE release. Bugfixes classified as major or meduim severity: 2003-09-01 20:01 (Medium) Assertion error or segmentation fault if using proxy_auth in delay_access 2003-09-01 20:01 (Medium) Segmentation fault if proxy_auth with ntlm used in http_reply_access 2003-08-31 09:31 (Medium) code 407 instead of 403 for authenticated traffic-shaped user 2003-08-28 22:28 (Medium) Form POSTing troubles with NTLM authentication or other error responses 2003-08-06 14:06 (Medium) assertion failed: client_side.c:1478: "size > 0" when using aufs 2003-08-06 13:06 (Medium) assertion failed: http.c:869: "-1 == cfd || FD_SOCKET == fd_table[cfd].type" 2003-07-16 20:16 (Major) cbdata.c:186: "c->valid" assertion due to peer digest not found 2003-07-16 13:16 (Major) Crash after ftpTimeout: timeout in SENT_PASV state 2003-07-11 23:11 (Medium) Client Socket Buffer leak on reply_body_max_size 2003-07-11 22:11 (Medium) Forward Host headers in place 2003-07-09 22:09 (Medium) Memory leak in deny_info TCP_RESET 2003-05-27 07:27 (Medium) Segmentation fault if more than one custom deny_info message defined in addition there is a huge amount of minor and cosmetic bugfixes. For details see http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/ Many thanks to all people who have helped with fixing and reporting bugs. Also many thanks to the customers of MARA Systems who have been daring to push Squid-2.5 beyond what it was initially thought of and that way uncovering some rare corner cases we would not have found otherwise. My strong feeling is that the upcoming 2.5.STABLE4 will be the best Squid-2.X release ever. Most of the now open bugs are touching architectural limitations of what Squid-2.5 can do, especially in the area of using authentication and other complex acl controls outside of http_access. Most of these things was not at all possible in previous versions and should not be seen as a major drawback of Squid-2.5 but as input on what can be done better for the next Squid release.
